Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction.
1便雅憫 人哪，你們要逃出 耶路撒冷 ， 在 提哥亞 吹角， 在 伯‧哈基琳 立號旗； 因為有災禍與大毀滅從北方張望。
2I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
2那秀美嬌嫩的 錫安 女子， 我必剪除。
3The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand.
3牧人必引他們的羊群到她那裏， 在她周圍支搭帳棚， 各在自己 所佔 之地 使羊 吃草。
4Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer.
4你們要準備攻擊她。 起來吧，我們可以趁午時上去。 哀哉！日已漸斜， 晚影拖長了。
5Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.
5起來吧，我們夜間上去， 毀壞她的宮殿。
6For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.
6因為萬軍之耶和華如此說： 你們要砍伐樹木， 築壘攻打 耶路撒冷 。 這就是那該罰的城， 其中盡是欺壓。
7As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually before me.
7井怎樣湧出水來， 這城也照樣湧出惡來； 在其間常聽見有強暴毀滅的事， 病患損傷也常在我面前。
8Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited.
8耶路撒冷 啊，你當受教， 免得我心與你生疏， 免得我使你荒涼， 成為無人居住之地。
9Thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall gather the remains of Israel, as in a vine, even to one cluster: turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer into the basket.
9萬軍之耶和華曾如此說： 敵人必擄盡 以色列 剩下的民， 如同摘淨葡萄一樣。 你要像摘葡萄的人摘了又摘，回手放在筐子裏。
10To whom shall I speak? and to whom shall I testify, that he may hear? behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach: and and they will not receive it.
10現在我可以向誰說話作見證，使他們聽呢？ 他們的耳朵未受割禮，不能聽見。 看哪，耶和華的話他們以為羞辱， 不以為喜悅。
11Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that is full of days.
11因此我被耶和華的忿怒充滿，難以含忍。 我要傾在街中的孩童和聚會的少年人身上， 連夫帶妻， 並年老的與日子滿足的都必被擒拿。
12And their houses shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
12他們的房屋、田地， 和妻子都必轉歸別人； 我要伸手攻擊這地的居民。 這是耶和華說的。
13For from the least of them even to the greatest, all are given to covetousness: and from the prophet even to the priest, all are guilty of deceit.
13因為他們從最小的到至大的都一味地貪婪， 從先知到祭司都行事虛謊。
14And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace.
14他們輕輕忽忽地醫治我百姓的損傷， 說：平安了！平安了！ 其實沒有平安。
15They were confounded, because they committed abomination: yea, rather they were not confounded with confusion, and they knew not how to blush: wherefore they shall fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall fall down, saith the Lord.
15他們行可憎的事知道慚愧嗎？ 不然，他們毫不慚愧， 也不知羞恥。 因此，他們必在仆倒的人中仆倒； 我向他們討罪的時候， 他們必致跌倒。 這是耶和華說的。
16Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls. And they said: we will not walk.
16耶和華如此說： 你們當站在路上察看， 訪問古道， 哪是善道，便行在其間； 這樣，你們心裏必得安息。 他們卻說：我們不行 在其間 。
17And I appointed watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. And they said: We will not hearken.
17我設立守望的人照管你們， 說 ：要聽角聲。 他們卻說：我們不聽。
18Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things I will do to them.
18列國啊，因此你們當聽！ 會眾啊，要知道他們必遭遇的事。
19Hear, O earth: Behold I will bring evils upon this people, the fruits of their own thoughts: because they have not heard my words, and they have cast away my law.
19地啊，當聽！ 我必使災禍臨到這百姓， 就是他們意念所結的果子； 因為他們不聽從我的言語， 至於我的訓誨，他們也厭棄了。
20To what purpose do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and the sweet smelling cane from a far country? your holocausts are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.
20從 示巴 出的乳香， 從遠方出的菖蒲 奉來給我有何益呢？ 你們的燔祭不蒙悅納； 你們的 平安 祭，我也不喜悅。
21Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring destruction upon this people, by which fathers and sons together shall fall, neighbor and kinsman shall perish.
21所以耶和華如此說： 我要將絆腳石放在這百姓前面。 父親和兒子要一同跌在其上； 鄰舍與朋友也都滅亡。
22Thus saith the Lord: Behold a people cometh from the land of the north, and a great nation shall rise up from the ends of the earth.
22耶和華如此說： 看哪，有一種民從北方而來， 並有一大國被激動，從地極來到。
23They shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion.
23他們拿弓和槍， 性情殘忍，不施憐憫； 他們的聲音像海浪匉訇。 錫安 城啊， 他們騎馬都擺隊伍， 如上戰場的人要攻擊你。
24We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.
24我們聽見他們的風聲，手就發軟； 痛苦將我們抓住， 疼痛彷彿產難的婦人。
25Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side.
25你們不要往田野去， 也不要行在路上， 因四圍有仇敵的刀劍和驚嚇。
26Gird thee with sackcloth, O daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee with ashes: make thee mourning as for an only son, a bitter lamentation, because the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
26我民哪，應當腰束麻布，滾在灰中。 你要悲傷，如喪獨生子痛痛哭號， 因為滅命的要忽然臨到我們。
27I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.
27我使你在我民中為高臺，為保障， 使你知道試驗他們的行動。
28All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted.
28他們都是極悖逆的， 往來讒謗人。 他們是銅是鐵， 都行壞事。
29The bellows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not consumed.
29風箱吹火，鉛被燒毀； 他們煉而又煉，終是徒然； 因為惡劣的還未除掉。
30Call them reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them.
30人必稱他們為被棄的銀渣， 因為耶和華已經棄掉他們。
